[GNC] Column widths again

[David Carlson]

I think that some installations of Debian and Ubuntu (and probably most
other flavors of Linux) default to 600x800 pixels if there is not a good
screen driver installed.  The Dell Inspiron may need a non-free driver.
That could cause what Graham is seeing.  I thought that GnuCash could deal
with that, but it would not look nice.  I am not sure in that case if it
would help to temporarily switch to two line view and drag the right edge
of the Description title leftward to see the Balance.
